I’m fair new to Jamf Pro so forgive my for my beginner questions.Our Jamf Pro system is partly managed by and IT department above us.I uploaded our vpptoken and reclaimed (for whatever that means)Now if I modify an app to be available in the self service store it appears (it did not before uploading the vpp token). Didn’t try to install it yet. But they don’t get automatically installed if i set them to Install automatically/Prompt the users to install. Yet. Maybe I need to wait for the next xyz communication between the macbook and the jamf pro server? 

I got a request to have the Multitasking option to have the apps in full screen or windowed mode blocked. I’m not seeing a way in Jamf Pro to do this. Does anybody know of a way to restrict that or all of the multitasking settings or if it’s on the horizon to come at a later date?

I wanted to highlight a gem that got burried in the Education State of the Union at JNUC 2025 this year.  It’s the Jamf App CATalog.  I’m still diving into it myself.  Had to chat with ​@Kelly_Conrad to get the low down on this.  Seems it’s released on the app store already.  Just chewing into it myself.The Admin Guide is available at https://jamf.it/appcat-setup.The Quick Start Guide is available at https://jamf.it/appcat-quickstart.The Quick Start Guide has all the basics and if you find it useful check out the Admin Guide.Without any configuration the app is in demo mode.  My ears perked up for this as I think our teachers would find it useful to be able to give internal feedback about specific apps.It was mentioned that there was a way to give feedback through an email but I can’t find that in the app like I was shown.  Maybe I’m missing something.Anyway, I hope you find this app helpful.  I’m looking forward to learning more about it myself.Available on the App Store here:https://

Hello all,I am in the process of rolling out OneDrive to our Mac environment.  I assigned the app from the Jamf app catalog and put together a plist with all of our settings.  I discovered that OneDrive has to have full disk access in order to automatically back up the desktop folder.  I used the Jamf PPPC tool to grant onedrive full disk access, however it does not seem to take.  I check in system settings → general → device management and I see the config profile, however when I run sqlite3 /Library/Application\ Support/com.apple.TCC/TCC.db \ 'select client from access where auth_value and service = "kTCCServiceSystemPolicyAllFiles"' in Terminal, onedrive is not listed as one of the apps that has full disk access.  Any ideas?

Hi all, Background:I’m fairly familiar with the Apple ecosystem but just not getting into managing Apple devices. I am working on getting MacOS to a baseline standard internally at my company. Issue:SelfService+ is working great but I’m noticing that I need to sign into it every time the app is launched. Is this normal?  Side Note:I do have SSO turned and working, which makes this less of an issue, but I was experiencing it before SSO was enabled as well. Thanks! 

Greetings JAMF Nation! Apologies in advance if this has been covered and I've just missed it. I'd like to know if there is a way to rearrange the columns I choose to display when I check the items under "Inventory Display". I provided a screenshot to try to explain what I'm after...in my example, "last update" is the second column but I'm asking if there is a way to tell jamf to display that one at the end. So "name" then "model" then "OS" and finally "last update". The end goal is to export the reports into an Excel spreadsheet but I'd like to not have to rearrange everything in Excel after it's exported. Would be nice to have it report in the order I want to export it. -SP

We have a requirement to use a exam application for proctored exams through Proctorio on iPads.Our specific need is:• Enable camera access exclusively for this exam application.• Currently, we have disabled the camera from the profile side to prevent other apps from accessing it.We need a solution that:• Allows the exam application to record via camera,• While keeping the camera disabled for all other applications.

For awhile both Jamf Pro and Jamf Protect had a Resource box on the dashboard page.  Both are gone now and we are just redirected to countless webpages to click through to find the information buried. Another useful tool gone….

The way JAMF displays my inventory requires me to scroll a lot to the right to find information on an asset. I would like to customize the order the columns are displayed. For example, Asset, serial number, building, and then room. Is it possible to change the order of the inventory display?

Morning all am looking to see how people have there ipad updates setup currently am going in to software update and selecting bunch of ipads asking them to update should i be setting config up so updates get push automatically just seeing what others do.  

Hi All, I have several MDM Profile that have not checking and I would like to remove the MDM Profile from the Macbooks, I have try the following script:   sudo jamf removeMdmProfilesudo jamf removeframework  I don’t want to use recovery mode. Can anyone help?  

I'm looking to use an extension attribute to list a user's Azure AD group membership status. Once that is identified, I would like to then parse this information for certain data, such as a specific group, and then create a smart group based on this information. Once the device enters that smart group, I can then have certain policies (such as licensed software) automatically deploy there. Has anyone done this? Thanks in advance!

A swiftDialog and LaunchDaemon pair for “set-it-and-forget-it” end-user messaging of Apple’s Declarative Device Management-required macOS updates  Overview While Apple’s Declarative Device Management (DDM) provides Mac Admins a powerful method to enforce macOS updates, its built-in notification tends to be too subtle for most Mac Admins.DDM OS Reminder evaluates the most recent EnforcedInstallDate entry in /var/log/install.log, then leverages a swiftDialog-enabled script and LaunchDaemon pair to dynamically deliver a more prominent end-user message of when the user’s Mac needs to be updated to comply with DDM-configured macOS version requirements.Continue reading …

Have recently built out a PlatformSSO config, and have seen varied results upon the devices on which I’m testing it. To my understanding it appears one has to scope a minimal AppSSOKerberos config in order for the PSSO config to properly register. I say this because, and this only appears to effect Apple Silicon devices running macOS 15+, when the config appear to bork itself registration is always unsuccessful.The underlying cause seems to be simultaneous writes to the AppSSOAgent and the AppSSO Daemon; what then happens is that underlying JSON config becomes corrupted, the config is discarded, and the system initiates a remediation by requesting a re-registration. It appears to be a concurrency bug causing an OS-level race condition. For whatever reason Intel Macs don’t seem to be impacted, but from what I can tell it’s an OS issues and not related to the M-series hardware.Has anyone else seen this? Anyone have any ideas toward a fix/remediation?

What is the best practice for app deployment? Is it using the “Mac Apps” menu and setting them to auto install instead of self service store, or deploying apps using Policies?My best guess is to add app-specific scripts and settings, but is there anything else that gives benefits using policy instead of just making it mandatory in the other way?

We don’t have ldap integration yet.So when we automatically enroll a computer (when new or wiped) the first user account is always admin. Which is impractical if the machine is shipped directly to the user.We create our admin user at prestage enrollment. or should the admin account we are about to use for troubleshooting etc be created using a configuration profile? What is the best practice i’m asking.In any way, after wipe or at first boot, the user that gets created WILL be created with admin rights. My question is if there is a way to create the first user with user-only rights as we create our admin account way before this step.Thanks

I am putting together some data on iPad breakages in schools.   If you’d be happy to share annual percentage of physically damaged iPads together with the case solution you use and the total number of iPads you have I would be grateful. If you have data by year group even better .   I will share results once I have them collated.   

Afternoon Im trying to deploy Zbrush which is dmg which has .app file wrap inside it.I have packaged this into temp location \\private\tmp Im then running a script to install it.Having all sorts off issue trying to get the script to mount the dmg.Seems to work fine through terminal using hdiutil attach /private/tmp/MaxonZbrush.dmgDoes anyone have experience with working with DMG or any good resources.Thanks in advance Tom

This is kind of a shot in the dark, since it’s a somewhat obscure Zoom setting -- but does anyone know how to manage the “Show green border around my shared content” option? (It’s under Settings > Share Screen.) I can’t find a key for it in ~/Library/Preferences/us.zoom.xos.plist, and toggling the setting appears to do nothing to that file.

Does anyone have a step-by-step for creating a basic content filter for Mobile Devices? Looking through the documentation online it keeps sending me to how to set it up on macOS but not iOS/iPadOS.  Basic Question:  Does the filter name matter? 

Has anyone had any luck in blocking the Games app? The only thing that appears under “Restrictions>Apps” is Game Center and that does not block the new app. 

I just want to take a moment to say thank you.It was truly an honor to meet all the recipients and everyone who helped make the event happen. I’ll be honest — I was completely unprepared for how emotional it would be. I was genuinely amazed.Speaking with the JAMF executives and hearing their journeys was inspiring. The consistent theme of family and unity — that sense of inclusion and belonging to something greater than yourself — was powerful and real.I’m deeply grateful to have been one of the recipients. Thank you again for such an incredible experience.

I’m unsure if this effects iPadOS 26.0 as I have just pushed out iPadOS 26.0.1 to devices this week.  We have a Single App Mode profile for TD Snap (though app doesn’t really matter).  After the device is rebooted it looks like on the home screen you can’t unlock the device.Swiping up just shows “No older notifications” but does not unlock the phone and take it to the Single App locked mode to TD Snap.Has anyone else experienced this?This iPad is on iPadOS 26.0.1.  Didn’t have this issue prior to the update.

Hey,Our agent for macos requires spficif bluetooth permissions to function properly. For most other MDMs we enable this by sending a mobile config containing BluetoothAlways key in Services, as documented here. JAMF seems to remove this key from mobileconfigs uploaded through UI and also directly through API. Example section that needs to be included in the mobileconfig: <key>Services</key><dict><key>BluetoothAlways</key><array><dict><key>Allowed</key><integer>1</integer><key>CodeRequirement</key><string>anchor apple generic and identifier "com.sentinelone.sentinel-helper" and (certificate leaf[field.1.2.840.113635.100.6.1.9] /* exists */ or certificate 1[field.1.2.840.113635.100.6.2.6] /* exists */ and certificate leaf[field.1.2.840.113635.100.6.1.13] /* exists */ and certificate leaf[subject.OU] = "4AYE5J54KN")</string><key>Identifier</key><string>com.sentinelone.sentinel-helpe

Back from JNUC? Learned a lot of new things, haven’t you? Missed even more I guess…Don’t worry, let me remind you what news we announced in Compliance benchmarks! Review the Keynote, Commercial State of the Union, and dedicated Compliance sessions (once available) for more details.NIST 800-53 rev 5 BaselinesYes, those from mSCP - low, moderate, and high - are now available in the built-in capability in Jamf Pro. You can build a benchmark out of them TODAY - as always, we recommend to start with monitor only, and roll-out gradually from small test group all the way to the target population.Compliance ScoreUsing Compliance in Protect? Like the simple compliance percentage as an overall indicator? It is NOW in Jamf Pro as well! Each benchmark shows a compliance score that tells you the compliance status over the assigned computers to know how you are doing. Any questions? Curious about where we are heading next? Let me know!
